  The fact that he got hired as a cop after being in a gang is wild. You can't even become a cop with a DUI. And obviously the NYPD knew, it would have been very relevant to his work in Chinatown. Genuinely curious how how he became a cop after admitting to crimes

  He went from being part of an illegal gang to being part of a legal gang

  It is ironic that he joined a gang because he was bullied in school, <br><br>Then quits the NYPD becuse he was bullied there, <br><br>So, when he was a gang member, he got more respect than when he was a policeman. <br><br>Well, regardless, he did the right thing by getting out of the gang. <br><br>Best of luck to him.

  I was fascinated by the entire video but I just love the goofy moment at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2osXEixd3kM&amp;t=480">8:00</a> where Mike talks about how the media portrays onionhead as some dark/foreboding nickname about making people cry and he&apos;s just like &quot;Nah his head looked like an onion that&apos;s why we called him that lmao&quot;

  “It’s all about respect, and a lot of people died because of disrespect.” <br>Street truth right there.

  Sad that he worked 26 years and still got bullied by his colleagues at nypd. Racism is deeply rooted in the police system it&apos;s sad

  Just the very matter of fact way he said “ those people will remember me for the rest of their life” sent a shiver down my spine

  What many people may not know is that in Manhattan little Italy and China town &nbsp;are right next to one another. &nbsp;They almost bleed into one another.

  I appreciate the insight, especially the small part about extortion and how money flowed throughout the community. As for his time living in two different worlds, it&apos;s sad that he had more respect and support as a gang member than a police officer.
